Teasing

Was with N for two yesrs. I have horrible PTSD from this relationship and totally lost who I was. Been NC since December, so it has been 6 months. He has contacted me through text using a new number, but Ive blocked that one too.

Trying hard to heal. Ive done one on one with a therapist for a month...am in group therapy once a week..reading self help books. I had no friends except his crowd..so I took steps to meet new ones. I'm actually going on a cruise with my new friends in a few weeks and have been pretty happy with them..until tonight.
long story short, after dinner out one night, myself and one friend from my group were accosted by 3 teenage thugs in a parking garage. My friend is from NYC and street smart, let me say loud and all in in your face like..whereas I'm more the type that avoids confrontation..more like run, scream, call the cops.
So she yells and curses at these guys and I run to my car and call the police...who came immediately and all was taken care
of.
That was a few weeks ago. Tonight we are out with new people and some of our group when she recounts the story of how I was the "little delicate girl " that ram off and she jumps ip and immitates me...I'm so embarrassed and then some guy from the band we were listening to comes over to our table and she does this whole routine for him. I don't even know the guy and this is how he is getting introduced to me!
This just upsets me to no end. I am always aware of not embarrassing or putting down others. It happened nonstop by my father and
ExN...and now this. Do I have a sign on me that says " kick me, put me down..come on it will be fun for you and a huge laugh for everyone else!" I notice only certain people do this to me...but then "I'm being too sensitive"...I don't want to live the rest of my life dreading social situations where I am treated like this! I am so upset that I am facing this after trying so hard to heal from this torment. And why is it me..and no other women in our group? I want yo talk to this girl and tell her I don't like this and wont have it anymore in my life..but am I making a big deal out of nothing? I am also so upset that I am going to ask for a special counseling session. We ladies are all in our late 40's..this isn't like schoolgirl games.
